One generous customer left this Houston restaurant a $9,400 tip

A Texas restaurant got exactly the surprise it needed, after two anonymous customers left a tip big enough to help out the “entire staff”.

The couple visited Irma’s Southwest in Houston and left behind a receipt that owner Louis Galvan called totally “unexpected,” according to CNN.

The bill for the couple’s dinner totaled $90.12, but the pair left behind a $7,500 tip, plus another $1,900 in cash.

The money also came along with a message, which one of the regulars had scribbled onto their receipt.

“Hold tip to pay your guys over the next few weeks,” the message read.

Galvan told CNN the tip came at a particularly needed time, as his restaurant moved to offering takeout service and a limited menu two days later.

Galvan said he wants to honor that intention, by splitting the tip among his entire staff, himself not included
